Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-(4-chlorobenzyl)-8-(3-hydroxypropyl)-3-methyl-1-(3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)propyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (100 mg, 0.204 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added sodium hydride (24.5 mg, 0.612 mmol, 60% dispersion in mineral oil) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Iodoethane (63.6 mg, 0.408 mmol) was added to the reaction and it was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The organic phase was dried and concentrated to give a crude product, which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (2:1 to 1:1) to give 7-(4-chlorobenzyl)-8-(3-ethoxypropyl)-3-methyl-1-(3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)propyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (96 mg, 90.6% yield) as a yellow solid. LCMS retention time 1.870 min; LCMS MH+ 519.
